Khris Davis Traded to the A's For Jacob Nottingham & Bubba Derby

Jaypers · Feb 12, 2016

Nottingham was a great get for the Brewers - wonder why the A's didn't give him a chance after acquiring him from the Astros.

Kudos to Stearns - not only did they get the catcher their farm system desperately needed, this could potentially give Brett Phillips an opening later this year. He's continuing to improve their system, and this is what I like to see.

I once went to a Booby Derby at a gentleman's club.

The winner by a nipple was "Lexa Wyde Ohpin"

Bad trade for the A's, Davis is nothing more than a 4th OFer with some pop. Nottingham I think will be a very solid all around player, and will have a ton of value if he does stick at catcher. Well I guess Oakland gets a short term need (OF power) but Oakland won't even be competitive for a few more years anyway IMO so it's kind of a wasteful trade.

Well, Khris Davis can hit home runs but his career OBP is less than desirable and advanced metrics don't like him.

Nottingham is very projectable with lots of potential. I had never heard the name Bubba Derby until earlier today...

"Krush" Davis April 6-July 31 (63 gms) : .236/.323/.424 7 HR
"Krush" Davis August 1 - Oct 4th (58 gms) : .259/.323/.582 20 HR

I guess he lived up to his name the last couple of months

The real move in getting Nottingham is that Lucroy becomes even more expendable. It's no secret that the second Lucroy gets slightly hot, "HE GONE!" This move makes it even more likely.

Sterns is following the Theo handbook and tracking down guys he once had and clearly wants back.

Realistically Hive, if the Brewers did trade Lucroy this offseason (or pre trade-deadline).....what kind of package would you want in return?

Top 10 bat and projectable pitching from any of the top 10 farm systems, or top 3 prospect from any other system and young talent (rookie ball guys). Obviously that's not an airtight formula, but I'm not asking for Mazara, Devers or Seager, but I also wouldn't expect St. Louis to give up Reyes. A trade with Houston makes the most sense.

If we have to take MLB talent, I want good, still projectable, pitching.

Lastly, another stud catching prospect from a team that won't need him if they can sign Lucroy, would be great, but the minors are pretty weak at catcher it seems.

Now the Brewers have claimed Sean Nolin, who hit waivers to make room for Davis, thus making this a 3-for-1 trade in effect. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/02/brewers-claim-sean-nolin-waivers-athletics.html

I called this on Twitter less than a day after the initial trade.

Looks like Nolin could be used as long relief (which could be an important role this year, depending on how Milwaukee fairs (ugh...).
